  • 1 roll Frog Tape 1.41"
  • 1 roll Frog Tape 1.88"
  • 1 4'x8' 3/4" Pre-Sanded Plywood Sheet Have a nice Home Depot Employee cut it in half at the store. Keep the second 4'x4' sheet for a future project.
  • 3 1"x3" high quality, pre-sanded boards
  • 25 Assorted Craft Paint Colors

  • 1 quart white paint I used French Linen by Rust-Oleum

Instructions

  1. Place 4'x4' piece of plywood on saw horses

  2. Sand 4x4 plywood sheet with 220 grit sandpaper

  3. Wipe off sawdust and paint with white paint. I used French Linen by Rust-Oleum. Let dry completely overnight.

  4. Use 1.88 inch Frog Tape to make a double thick border around the entire board.

  5. Apply three different widths of frog tape horizontally across the plywood in random order.

  6. Remove frog tape strips one at a time and paint the stripe with craft paint. Use a foam paint brush. Wait for paint to dry completely.

  7. After craft paint is completely dry, place Frog Tape strip back down to protect the stripe. Next, remove another strip of frog tape and repeat until the entire board is painted.

  8. After all stripes are painted and dry, carefully remove the Frog tape strips.

  9. Next, remove the frog tape border.

  10. Stain 1X2 Boards and let dry

  11. Cut boards for the frame and nail to the plywood with Brad Nailer

  12. Admire your beautiful work of art!
